Areas, neighbourhoods and types of stay, from the official visitor guide.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Gothenburg's official visitor guide lists hotels in six areas: the city centre, Hisingen, Gothenburg West, the archipelago, close to Gothenburg and Gothenburg East. Its weekend guide says it doesn't really matter where in the city you spend the nights. Haga, Linné, Majorna and Avenyn are among the neighbourhoods it describes.
